Dependency management options Jump to heading#

--no-lock Jump to heading#

Updating dependencies Jump to heading#

By default, the update subcommand will only update dependencies to semver-compatible versions (i.e. it won't update to a breaking version).

$ deno update
Updated 1 dependency:
 - jsr:@std/fmt 1.0.0 -> 1.0.3

To update to the latest versions (regardless of whether it's semver compatible), pass the --latest flag.

$ deno update --latest
Updated 3 dependencies:
 - jsr:@std/async 1.0.1 -> 1.0.8
 - jsr:@std/fmt   1.0.0 -> 1.0.3
 - npm:chalk      4.1.2 -> 5.3.0

Selecting packages Jump to heading#

The update subcommand also supports selecting which packages to operate on.

$ deno update --latest chalk
Updated 1 dependency:
 - npm:chalk 4.1.2 -> 5.3.0

Multiple selectors can be passed, and wildcards (*) or exclusions (!) are also supported.

For instance, to update all packages with the @std scope, except for @std/fmt:

$ deno update --latest "@std/*" "!@std/fmt"
Updated 1 dependency:
 - jsr:@std/async 1.0.1 -> 1.0.8

Note that if you use wildcards, you will probably need to surround the argument in quotes to prevent the shell from trying to expand them.

Updating to specific versions Jump to heading#

In addition to selecting packages to update, the --update flag also supports selecting the new version specifying the version after @.

❯ deno update chalk@5.2 @std/async@1.0.6
Updated 2 dependencies:
 - jsr:@std/async 1.0.1 -> 1.0.6
 - npm:chalk      4.1.2 -> 5.2.0

Workspaces Jump to heading#

In a workspace setting, by default update will only operate on the current workspace member.

For instance, given a workspace:

{
  "workspace": ["./member-a", "./member-b"]
}

Running

deno update

from the ./member-a directory will only update dependencies listed in ./member-a/deno.json or ./member-a/package.json.

To include all workspace members, pass the --recursive flag (the -r shorthand is also accepted)

deno update --recursive
deno update --latest -r
